The Lehigh Valley Phantoms lost a third straight game for the first time this season on Friday night, falling 3-2 to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
When Flyers rookie forward Travis Konecny was injured there was immediate speculation as to who would get the call up from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Many fans were pleased to hear Jordan Weal was getting the call and would have his chance to make an impression on the Flyers brass.
It’s hard to determine just what rock bottom would be for this Flyers team, but Thursday night’s game may have been it. The Flyers scored three goals for the first time since Feb. 2, but that was hardly enough in a 6-3 loss to the Oilers at Rogers Place.
Fresh off another loss that hurt their playoff chances, the Flyers return to the ice in a virtual must-win game against the Edmonton Oilers. The opening face-off is set for 9 p.m.
The Flyers begin a three-game road trip with a back-to-back set in Alberta, visiting the Calgary Flames to cap off their two-game season series.
As the Flyers season continues to see-saw between playoffs and not, the Flyers prospects continue to keep hope high within the organization. Here’s a look at some of the prospects and their performances from the last week.
The Flyers sat Shayne Gostisbehere for three games after a 5-1 drubbing to the Hurricanes in their first game back from the All-Star break. For eight days, Gostisbehere got extra time to work on things in practice and observe games and his mature approach to the situation has things back on track so to speak.
On Feb. 9, 1995, the Flyers traded winger Mark Recchi and a 1995 third-round pick to the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Eric Desjardins, along with forwards John LeClair and Gilbert Dionne.
It was the 100th regular season game at PPL Center on Saturday night, and it was a memorable game. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms were down late and managed to come back to tie, before ultimately surrendering the winning goal to Charles Hudon and the St. John’s IceCaps in a 4-3 loss.
Through two periods, it was too much of the same for the Flyers. The solid defensive play was certainly still present for the Flyers, but the goals still weren’t coming. Finally, one to break the ice in the third put the Flyers on the board, but it would still take overtime for the Flyers to snap a three-game losing streak and earn a crucial two points. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Sharks.
